Where’d they take all that stuff?????
These can't be real. Everyone knows rebuilding can only be done with loads of American taxpayer's dollars.
“Where’d they take all that stuff?”
With any luck it hits San Diego right around the DNC coronation convention.
hehehe. good question!
They probably added 10% to the land area of Japan by landfilling all the debris! I’ve seen a map showing how much land has been reclaimed in Tokyo harbor in the past 50 years or so and it’s amazing.
Now if they could just get to where things didn’t glow in the dark...
Various government programs have been set up for waste disposal, but most of it was simply handled at the local level, by local citizens, pulling on their gloves and getting down to work.
Wood was sorted and stacked, metals were separated, vehicles were pulled into huge lots where they identified, their owners or heirs were contacted, etc.
Lots of the wood debris was pulverized for use as fuel in local projects aimed at producing hot water for both warmth and bathing.
Many more land reclamation projects have been delayed because the owners and heirs cannot be located, and there are laws governing property disposal in those situations, but things will be picking up smartly once the required waiting periods are past.
None of this surprises me. It’s simply not the Japanese way to sit back and wait for people to do things for you. Everyone is expected to do what they can to fix things themselves.
Some ocean bay is now filled, compacted and ready for new industry.
